(Yousef Marwan, MBBS, Wael Husain, MBBS, FRCSC , Waleed Alhajii, MBBS, MSc, Facharztb , Magdy Mogawer, MBBS) – Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ECSWT) has been used widely for musculoskeletal conditions; however, no reports are available about its use for coccydynia. Click to read more.Read More
(Shih-Feng Lin, Yi-Jen Chen, Hung-Pin Tu , Chia-Ling Lee, Ching-Lin Hsieh , Wen-Lan Wu , Chia-Hsin Chen) – Coccydynia is pain in the coccygeal region, and usually treated conservatively. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) was incorporated as non-invasive treatment of many musculoskeletal conditions. However, the effects of ESWT on coccydynia are less discussed.

(Tz-Yan Lin, Jing-Ting Chen, Yu-Yu Chen, Tien-Wen Chen , Chia-Ling Lee, Chia-Hsin Chen, Mao-Hsiung Huang) – We investigated the effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) on the rehabilitation of cervical spondylosis with nuchal ligament (NL) calcification under X-ray and ultrasound guidance. Sixty patients with cervical spondylosis and calcification of NL were selected and randomly assigned to...Read More
(Non-invasive treatment of herniated discs by focused shockwave therapy) – In orthopedic practice meets a number of pathologies, surgical treatment which is necessary because of the inefficiency of the traditional conservative therapy. These pathologies, in particular, diseases of the spine – such as protrusion, herniated disc, low back pain, osteoporosis and spondylitis. At present, there are...Read More
(Balagué et al., 2012). Non-specific low back pain is common and affects people of all ages (e.g., Carraggee, 2005; Bhangle et al., 2009; Maher et al., 2017). Non-specific low back pain is defined as low back pain not attributable to a recognizable, known specific pathology (e.g., infection, tumour, osteoporosis, fracture, structural deformity, inflammatory disorder, radicular syndrome,...Read More
Extracorporeal softwave treatment is CE certified in Austria, Europe and licensed for indications like achillodynia, epicondylitis, or tendinitis calcanea. The Orthogold 100 device by MTS Medical UG will be used for this study. Defocused low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has gained acceptance as a therapeutic tool in different medical settings. It has been shown,...Read More
Extracorporeal softwave therapy (ESWT) is widely used in clinical practice. In addition to its original use in kidney stone disintegration, shock waves are now used for the treatment of a variety of regenerative indications. Mechanotransduction stimulates the body’s biological healing processes at the cellular level. In areas of wound healing, orthopaedics or erectile dysfunction, very...Read More
As new approaches for peripheral nerve regeneration are sought, there is an increasing demand for native Schwann cells for in vitro testing and/or reimplantation. Extracorporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT) is an emergent technology in the field of regenerative medicine that has also recently been shown to improve peripheral nerve regeneration. Methods. In this study, we elucidate...Read More
